The Sanjay Leela Bhansali Controversies

Sanjay Leela Bhansali (or SLB as he is referred to since we hate long names) has been known for movies that are essentially a walk through a beautiful palace, with some characters in between to display great clothes & jewellery. There’s a two year gap between his last movie, Bajirao Mastani, and the new one, Padmavati. And there’ve been controversies on both.

Queens don’t dance. It is insulting to show them dancing!

Costumes: Queens don’t wear such costumes. They are dignified and covered

Intimate scene between the King and a woman! Uff!

No problem with the actors but not sure if these were the ones who should’ve been. chosen to play these characters

Insulting to culture!

Which movie were these issues for? Why, both! Same issues. New meaning to “Formula movies”?
